00:00Hello, Paul.
00:02Good morning, Mr. Trump.
00:04So you're going to teach me something today.
00:06I hope I can do that.
00:08Well, I'm going to try doing your job. It's not going to be easy.
00:10Don't do it too well.
00:12Try that one on, see if that fits.
00:14It's very interesting.
00:16We do everything from walking dogs to running up groceries to whatever the guests may need.
00:22We really never have to say no to a guest.
00:24I think we have a guest that's going to be coming down shortly, checking out.
00:28Am I allowed to accept tips?
00:30You are.
00:32Let's go get a guest.
00:34How are you?
00:36Did you enjoy your stay?
00:38I did. Thank you so much.
00:40I'll help you with those bags.
00:42You didn't expect this, right?
00:44I did not expect this.
00:46Would you like the purse inside?
00:48Would you like this inside with you?
00:50Thank you very much.
00:52Here you go, man.
00:54Thank you very much.
00:56Thank you very much.
00:58This is the first time I've carried luggage for anybody, including myself, in a long time.
01:02It's been a long time, but it was fun.
01:04The life of a bellman and working in a hotel is never easy.
01:08Good job. Good job.
01:10I believe that somebody just called down for a dog walking appointment.
01:14I always keep a dog biscuit on hand just in case the dog is either nice or not so nice.
01:18Very good.
01:20I hope it's not a vicious dog.
01:22Hello. How are you?
01:24Oh, my goodness.
01:26I'm here to walk your dog.
01:28We have a dog park at the hotel.
01:30Yes.
01:32I'm going to take you for a little walk.
01:34Thank you.
01:36Have a good time. I'll be back in a few minutes.
01:38Thank you.
01:40Hey, sweetheart.
01:42Come on, hon.
01:44Come on. We'll go over here.
01:46You take your dog. You go outside.
01:48It's freezing, and you walk around for a while.
01:50It's not that easy.
01:52Okay. Be careful.
01:54The fact that she trusted me with that dog was amazing.
01:56Probably she shouldn't have, but it worked out.
01:58Hello, everybody.
02:00Hey, Andy.
02:02How are you? Nice to see you.
02:04I'm going to help you.
02:06Okay.
02:14Very nice.
02:16What happens if somebody like me
02:18wants to take a bite out of the burger
02:20before I bring it to the room? Is that acceptable?
02:22It's not a good idea.
02:24Ready? Come on. Let's go, Andy.
02:30Room service. Look at this.
02:32This is serious room service.
02:34I hope you give me a nice, big, fat tip.
02:36Have a good time.
02:38Hello, Mia.
02:40Good morning, Mr. Trump.
02:42Always a pleasure.
02:44Nice to see you again.
02:46I am. Am I going to change this again?
02:48Yes. Let's go.
02:50Very nice, Mia.
02:52First, we're going to start off with the bed.
02:54First, you want to pull the cover up
02:56so we have it kind of tight.
02:58Good.
03:00Next, Mr. Trump,
03:02I'm going to need you to vacuum.
03:04Okay. Where's the little release?
03:08Wow.
03:10There's a little piece of lint.
03:12Now it's gone.
03:14You're great.
03:16Now we're going to go to the bathroom.
03:18I'm not in the bathroom.
03:20I don't know if I could ever do that job.
03:22Only sinks, right?
03:24First, spray the sink.
03:26Okay.
03:30I like that.
03:32I like this job, Mia.
03:34Maybe you should come help me all the time.
03:36These are four jobs
03:38that I've never done before,
03:40and it's tough.
03:42You have to be sharp. You have to be smart.
03:44You have to get along with the people,
03:46and it's hard work, not easy,
03:48but you love it, right?
03:50She's fantastic.
03:52Thank you very much for doing such a great job.
03:54I'm your apprentice.
03:56And I'm hired, right?

04:10You're hired.
